These 272D violet copy pencils are copying pencils, for use on wet surfaces, wood, stone, fabric, transferring designs, writing or drawing on wet surfaces, widely used by tattoo artists.

They come in a 1950 reissue box, which pays homage to the heritage of Viarco, the historic Portuguese pencil factory founded in 1907 and still operating in São João da Madeira.

This collection is part of a series of limited editions that recapture the charm of the 1940s to 1960s, when a good pencil lasted for years and the design didn't require batteries.

Each box contains 12 hard 272D pencils in a round, violet body, engraved in gold.

Made in Portugal.
